Aris: Besides Jeff's excellent info on the Bassani replica (they were among the best 6-1 pipes made), D&D from Texas made an excellent 6-1 pipe. Smallish diameter headers with a really nice-sounding stainless can and made great power everywhere. Not a lot were made, but you see them every so often. Perhaps someone has one that the other pipe guy mentioned here from Texas could copy?

Dave:In the end, and after much consideration, I decided to go for the Delkevic 6 into 2 original exhaust replica.In fact, it is about to be delivered to my home in Greece, having travelled all the way from the UK (and presumably to the UK from China).

Who knows, later on, as funds permit, I might try another, less conventional exhaust system.

Has anybody ever weighed a complete stock system for a '79 vs., say, a D&G 6-1 like mine?? I'm willing to bet that there is a significant difference. I put a full Ti Yosh system on my Hayabusa and saved 32 lbs!!!! Apples and oranges somewhat, but I still believe there is a big weight savings on the CBX. I could easily feel the HANDLING difference on the 'Bus.

Here is a pic of the Marshall 6 into 1 that I mounted on my 79.Hands down the Dencos are my favorite , the Kerkers were nice but the Marshall's will stay on the bike for now. The Marshall's are quiet, sound good when on the gas and keeps peace in the nieghborhood.

I am like you, running stock air filter and jetting and I am at 5400 feet.

Thanks Again for the nice pipes. The Denco's I am having a metal worker smooth out and then looking at having them rechromed and the headers ceramic lined...costly but the pipes are in such great shape I hate to half ass them.
